In Italian prayers, they used to say 'save of us from the wrath of the Norseman'. That was the Vikings who'd come through on ocassion and kill all the dudes then pleasure the women with their aryan blond blue schlongs. Hence the pale skin blond hair Blue eyed Italian.

My dad was a Viking. No, you're not racist it's just that Sicilians really love sweets. Do YOU have an unusually-sweet sweet-tooth?...

Aren't they white? It's not a racist question. I love Italians I was just wondering. Is it because of the sun in Italy?

Rent the movie True Romance and listen to Dennis Hoppers character tell Christopher Walkens character the reason for this dark skin. Although he was talking about Sicilians,the Italians had the same experience,historically speaking his explanation was on the money.

I am a dark skinned black haired brown eyed german, where does that put me?

It certainly is a valid question, why shouldn't it be. It's bizarre to see someone be called a racist just for asking such a question.

In the north, Italians would naturally be mostly fair skinned people, but they don't of course have only blue eyes.

The south is located very close to the north african coast. The southern part of Sicily is even more in the south than the northermost part of the African coast. All kinds of people have crossed the Mediterranean for thousands of years, so it would only be natural if there were all kinds of skin color in Italy.

I began to look for the kind of player that doesn't need his ego fed by stardom, but will do what he's supposed to do because he knows the game and loves the game, and will do the job the right way even if someone else gets the glory." ~ Bill Belichick

You would also find that Spanish, Portuguese, and French are actually blonde/blue. The only ones to escape the forced marraiges and rapes were the very wealthy whites. Take a look at picutres of the former presidents of Mexico...mostly white.

Yes, I'm Italian. We joke about Hannibal and how he really got around. Not only the olive skin, but some have very curly dark hair.

One would assume Italians would look a little more like Swiss from the north.

The Africans weren't "black" Africans, they were from what was known in historical times as Libya. They have berber genes, not black.
